I love your track wheels too. Would have gotten a set if the fitment wasn't so aggressive. But then again, I love my BBS CI-R

You should have seen us at the track last weekend, It was so nice to get back behind the wheel again. CCA will be having another event at Road Atlanta at the end of the month.

It was nice to watch the e92 M3's try to keep up.

The lights are 4"LED with a yellow tint and I have a toggle switch on the dash that turns them off and on. They are solid and fit perfectly behind the grill.


Your car looks bad ass!!!!
Love the fog lights behind the grill.
Who makes them? Gotta link?

Thanks, taking the bulkhead down a bit and adding a half cage. I think we can pull 100 to 150 lbs out of the car and still keep it clean on the inside.

This build is definitely one of the great N/A builds, I've really enjoyed following it. Is there anything left on the wishlist?

Do you happen to have any more details on the LED conversion? Or was it also sourced from Retro Fit Souce https://www.theretrofitsource.com/?

You can try this guy www.retroworkslighting.com he was the actual guy who did my lights retrofit sources provides the components.

I always have new things on my list, going to be upgrading my suspension to a MCS 2 way, adding a half cage and a few other modifications this year. Also started building a spec e46 race car so my plate is full.

Back under the knife for the next revision. We had the pull the engine and re ring it, so I have decided to go ahead and jump on a few more things.

* Swapped out the AKG shifter for the RTD
* Widening the front fenders 10mm and the rear 15mm
* New updated diffuser, side and front Splitters
* Adding a half cage.
* taking half the back wall down.
* upgrading to MCS suspension 2 way
* removing the AC
* dropping the cars weight to a targeted 2950 lbs
* adding a carbon roof

I am sure we will make more adjustments as we are moving through this round.

Curious, any details on how you plan to widen your fenders? Are you still doing the Spec E46 as well or thinking about doing more with your Coupe?

We are exploring a couple of options with how much room I need to fit a 275 in the front and a 285 on the rear. It is going in for cage work this weekend, then to the body shop.

I took the e46 to race school a couple of weeks back, and while the Z is out, I am going to start tearing that car down hoping to have it ready by the fall.

You shouldn't need to modify your fenders to fit 275 front and 285 rear. I'm running 275 square. You should also strongly consider running a square setup for track.

What kind of tire and wheel are you running currently?

I run a square set currently, 18x35x265's with no problem, with the current suspension. I have 2 sets one is a 9.5x18 22mm offset and the other is a 10x18 35mm.

g'day Will,

just acquired a set of Dinan high flow TB's. mate, can you clue me in as to what the issues were that you guys were having? id like to know if these things are just plug and play?

Is there a tune that you need to run for these? I read through the Dinan install notes and it talks about some specific limits/tune?

cheers mate. loving the new updates. how wide are you going?
